🩷 It’s been a while… so let me reintroduce myself!
There are quite a few new faces here, so I thought it was time I said hello again 👋
I’m Stephanie — the nurse and educator behind Aussie Nurse Mentor.
I’ve worked in healthcare for around 15 years, starting as a PCA before becoming an EN and then an RN. My clinical background is predominantly surgical and orthopaedic nursing, but over the years I’ve worked across a broad range of clinical areas.
My career looks a little different these days. After years of balancing clinical nursing, education and leadership roles, I’ve recently made the move into academia permanently, working in nursing education while remaining connected to clinical practice.
Keeping that connection to nursing is really important to me. It keeps my teaching current, practical and connected to the realities of healthcare.
I’m also completing my Master of Health Professions Education, with a growing interest in nursing education, student engagement, transition to university and retention.
And somewhere amongst all of that… Aussie Nurse Mentor was created. 🩷
I started this little business because I could see how many nursing students were capable of doing the work but were struggling to understand what was actually being asked of them.
Sometimes you don’t need someone to give you the answer.
You need someone to explain it differently. Break it into smaller pieces. Look at what you’ve written and help you recognise where you’re going off track.
Or sometimes you simply need someone to say, “Yep — you’re actually heading in the right direction.”
That’s what I want Aussie Nurse Mentor to be.
I’m an educator first. I won’t do your assessments for you, but I will teach, guide, explain, challenge and support you to develop your own knowledge, skills and confidence.
Outside of my professional life, I’m also a wife and mum of four, so life is generally organised chaos! I understand that studying often has to fit around work, family and everything else life throws at us.
Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you’ve only just found my page — welcome to Aussie Nurse Mentor. 🩷
I’m glad you’re here.
